Why do you keep calling him Bonac?

You’ve picked nicks best pics and bonacs worst. Bonac is too hard to beat in this line providing he’s past those i juries which held him back last year

This weekend Arnold build up is intense!! Can't image what young guys are thinking right!?! The stress of making sure your not the guy who disappoints (would be what I'm ref'g to!)
I am playing it safe and not making a 1/2/3/4/5/6 etc prediction not that it matters anyways. The judges are gonna be overwhelmed I hope. Really it's so deep we just have to wait!!!

That intro with headphones can jog up your attention….Bonac wins

In a couple yr nicks waist will be huge, you can already see the obliques bowing out… He should chat to Winkler and see how he fixed it.

Everyone is sleeping on Akim. Absolutely no hype behind him. Top 3. Akim, Bonac, Nick.

Bonac has always been overrated, with his short, boxy structure. No waist and bad v-taper. He looks bad in all front poses. Nick is [weirdly] actually a little more aesthetic than Bonac. He also has much better abdominal separation. But idk if I agree with you about Akim. With those super high lats, I'm not sure I consider that a more aesthetic look than Nick's more traditional v-taper. It's really apples and oranges.

I have bonac winning in side shot but rest of it belongs to nick . Nick will win followed by bonac and Sergio jr on 3rd I think .

With Bonac and Nick, I definately think the top light is complimenting Bonac's details. Nick has a lot more front light that accentuate his musculature size but unfortunately blends in details. You can see this on the most muscular pose (brightest highlights are on top of Bonac's shoulders while Nick's brightest highlights are mid shoulder/chest)

Top lights definately show off striations and muscle seperations more, and I definately think with the same lighting Nick could have out detailed Bonac.

In my opinion Akim is all but not aesthetic.

Bro, is there an eye doctor near you? If so go get checked if you think based on these pictures you think Nick is not better! Nick clearly better than both!

So thats it… Nick too new… ? Oh Nick hasn’t paid his dues, I call B/S!

Two words about Nick Walker's future in competition, and about comparing him to established champion body builders… Muscle Maturity.
He's still young. But, his future looks pretty bright to me.

Reply
The Phantom September 22, 2021 - 8:55 pm

Nick, lay off the crack bud. Don't know what pics your looking at but Nick Walker looks way better than the others. Bonac is on the way out, don't know what anyone sees in him – his torso is terrible and his FDB is laughable. Really don't know what the judges see in him.

Nick is jocking Nick bigtime!! Nick you're forgetting about Steve Sergio Ian!! All better bodybuilders than Nick. Especially from a structural standpoint. Let's see who brings the conditioning and best package on that day!!

Nick Walker will win over Bonac. You are comparing all three from previous shows. Upset.

Lats attached to high for akim..that throws of the aesthics..but as we know bodybuilding is a subjective sport and some may like his physique over Bonac

Interesting thing about shorter bodybuilders, they never win. Sometimes they place top 5 or 6. However winning the Arnold or Olympia, never, unless of course your best buddy is Arnold and your name is Franco, then that's different. Ask Branch Warren, the most jacked short guy that ever lived.

Rey Sacapano September 22, 2021 - 9:25 pm

I'm taking Nick to win it all dude.

Front Double – Oddly enough, Nick's legs are sharper than Bonac's in the front double. It would be an easy win for Nick from his general size and width advantages.
Back Double – I agree.
Back Lat Spread – Nick dwarfs Bonac, and his V-taper is superior. He's not as dense, but I think Nick wins the shot off of his proportions.
Most Muscular – Nick's more muscular, and the separation in his legs and midsection wins him the shot.
Side Chest – This is Nick's worst pose. He's much smoother in this shot while this is arguably the best pose for Bonac. His detail is genuinely insane.

Also, take a shot each time Nick says 'finer details' in this video. when mentioning something like that, just point out what the finer details are. EG, saying Bona's legs are more detailed from the front. From what I could see, the separation in Nick's quads are superior, and Bonac doesn't have feathering like Flex Wheeler or Tom Platz.

Nick, I'm not on the Akim bus as much as you but he is massive and VERY impressive. What I don't like is his high lat insertions. And in my view Nick Walker's shoulder to waist ratio is superior and as such his back double biceps is superior to Akim's. Bonac's detailing is always impressive as are a number of his bodyparts viewed in isolation. But as a package, Bonac is too blocky (blockier than Nick W for sure). I think Nick W has a really good chance of winning if comes in shredded and steps it up another level from the NY Pro. Just my thoughts.

I've never liked nicks physique but you need to give him props some guys try their entire lives to never accomplish what he has so quickly. I believe though he needs to slow down or he will blow out quickly

Nick is just to young. He is great none the less. But he needs to allow the muscle to mature. Do not rush the process and kill your doing it. The road to the Olympia or Arnold is a marathon, not a Sprint.

I think Nick will place higher tbh

Reply
Randolph Eno September 23, 2021 - 10:16 am

Honestly I think Nick is better. Which is odd because I also don't think Nick will win yet. But the moment of truth is almost here and we will all see who shows up and who shows up right.

I think bonac is going to win…if akim comes withe proper conditioning….i hope he will be 2nd….3rd for nick

Bonac's finer details also include his well defined gyno 😂

Your eye is also drawn to nick cause his abs are symetrical and prominent. One of his biggest strength not mentioned enough(you did mention in passing)

Reply
vincent catalin September 23, 2021 - 4:57 pm

akim wins/ nick second, bonac third or second due to the better details and separation. but nick's back is wider, more developed and bigger chest and best mid section, best abs definition. can go either way but akim finally will get the long desired Arnold statue. Ian maybe fourth. or we may be in for a surprise to see Ian placing higher . he is huge

Nick is such a huge guy. Even his waist looks really wide, and his shoulders are obviously even wider by a significant margin. Dude is insanely muscular

I don't like the high inserts of Akims lats, it ruins the flow.

I think all 3 pro bodybuilders are looking well Bonac has more muscle maturity but I don’t think back details alone will beat Big Nick just my opinion.Akim is looking good and has made better progress but I don’t think it’s between him and Nick maybe him and Bonac.Of course we don’t know unless they can peak on the right night…Awesome work Nick strength and power 💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽
